Countdown... 24 hours!

After several hours of just looking at what might go into my suitcase, it is still not packed. I'm hoping for a packing fairy to drop by today.

Last night, our whole family got together for our weekly pizza party and games. It's great when your husband, two adult children and their friends still want to play!

A former JFMR, Barb McCallum, stopped by to wish me well. She has given me great advice, and encouragement! I also got a call from a dear friend and former colleague, Bernie Skrivan. Several years ago, she and I did an internet project with teachers and students from Japan. We were one of the first three educators in Nebraska to get an email account, the first was the head of the education department. She wished me well, and said I will be living the dream for the both of us by finally reaching Japan!

Tomorrow at this time, I will be in San Francisco meeting all my new friends and one step closer to Japan! WOW!!!
